Singles and fluff!

Merino with yellow, blue, mauve and pink dyed mohair curls carded up for Mum to have a go at spinning.  She can't handle alpaca or knit it due to allergies so will see how it goes.

This is the gorgeous November Ixchel fibre batt of merino, cashmere, tencel, suri, rose and angora.  Spinning up beautifully and still a bit more to add and then I can do the matching braid to add to it.  This batt was to have a lot of that waste thread stuff in it but I have removed it all and will use it to make other batts with later so it wont go to waste.  Just didn't want to spoil the delicate colours of this or the lovely soft smooth texture.

 Merino hand dyed by me now spun as a single ready to be plyed with another single one day soon.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

You have a great eye for colour, Katherine. This all looks so soft and the spun yarn so even. Hope your mum has fun with the lovely merino.
